Re: Re: Re: Assisted Suicide
by

The three complications documented in '05 were two cases of vomiting up some of the pills (at least one patient had been vomiting daily secondary to their illness). Both of these died anyway. The third was an individual who took the dose, became unconscious, regained consciousness 65 hours later, did not attempt again, and died two weeks later from underlying illness.
I feel that while the decision about physician-assisted suicide is one that everyone has to make on a personal level (both whether you'd do it and whether you'd support other people doing it), Oregon still has a pretty darn good system in place. I might add that every case is reviewed by the Health Department, which publishes annual reports and generally keeps a close eye on the system.
